How can I replace a track already imported as a KMA file?

[gduns - with the Lord]

I am not sure, I have heard of others doing this, but I dont think you finalize or close a cd-rw. Others may be able to tell you.

ignore this !

Beavis,
using MS access is a bad idea. a lot of the people on this board are barely computer literate. That is way........ to advanced for most users to get into.

NOT RECOMMENDED

Ah, Beavis, yes, I went to the kma folder and deleted track number 15. Now the folder contains only 405-1.kma thru 405-14.kma. Re-tried the whole process and still got the "book ID already in use" message.


Gduns had a good suggestion, but do you think that maybe
if I start over by deleting all 405-xx.kma files then import the HD bin file first, follow that with the reimport of the 14 good files from the disc. Think that might work?

It seems that reimporting from discs allows appending to existing book ID's. I'm not sure if the program cares about where the previous files come from (either HD or disc) as gdun hypothesized. But it may be true that one cannot mix HD and disc imports?

Whatya think?

What would you do?

Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

If you delete those files, then do a database rebuild.

Then and only then will hoster not see the bookid you entered (405).

You can then import all of the files from the Hd. (with book id of 405)

[Beavis]

is all your trying to do is re-import a song in the same place it was before?

Another good suggestion gduns! I like your first suggestion better because I might have to end up burning a number of entire discs to bin files. And that might be too lengthy of a process.

When I burn the 14 dummy bin files plus the 15th track bin file to a cd-rw disc, I get the message "Disc is not empty". The disc was brand new. then i reformatted the disc itself and same message came up. Any idea wjy this is anyone?
